Selective attention allows organisms to extract behaviorally relevant information while
ignoring distracting stimuli that compete for the limited resources of their central nervous …

It is now well known that the absence of attention can leave people unaware of both visual
and auditory stimuli (eg, Dalton & Fraenkel, 2012; Mack & Rock, 1998). However, the …

Previous psychophysiological assessments of mental workload have relied on the addition
of visual or auditory stimuli. This study investigated the tactile ERP and EEG spectral power …

It is well known that information on stimulus orientation plays an important role in sensory
processing. However, the neural mechanisms underlying somatosensory orientation …

Predicting the timing of incoming information allows brain to optimize information processing
in dynamic environments. However, the effects of temporal predictions on tactile perception …

Selective attention helps process the myriad of information constantly touching our body.
Both endogenous and exogenous mechanisms are relied upon to effectively process this …

Load theory assumes that neural activation to distractors in early sensory cortices is
modulated by the perceptual load of a main task, regardless of whether task and distractor …

Virtual reality (VR) can be immersive to such a degree that users sometimes report feeling
tactile sensations based on visualization of the touch, without any actual physical contact …

Auditory sensory memory indexed by mismatch negativity has been broadly studied over the
past century, but far less attention has been directed to tactile sensory memory. To …

Background Crossmodal interactions between relevant visual and tactile inputs can
enhance attentional modulation at early stages in somatosensory cortices to achieve goal …
